Amazon has Zillion SV TW (1000h) for $229. Pretty sure it's the JDM version. Cheaper than Digitaka (which is still out of stock on the 1000h).

You got me! Nice haul, my man. What rod is that? iRod Genesis? (edit-just saw it is an iRod) I have a few of the previous Tat 100's. Definitely gonna check one of these out.

Looks like a good crappie imitator as well.

Dang that sucks! I try really hard to keep my baits dry. But if somehow rain gets into one of the boxes, I'll stick a fan on them when I return home.

Can't wait to see it!

Black Friday sales from various places. Y'all too much! And I know YOU ain't talkin', Mr. KGB! 😅

Few re-stocks. Few new things I wanna try. And a handful of stuff I didn't really need but the sale was so good I couldn't help myself. 🙄

Even tho I have silica gel packets in all my storage boxes/bags to help prevent rust, I never put a bait away wet. I always let it dry out first, just to play it safe.

Soooo, what'd you get?

Have you tried the 3" Yum Hellgrammite?

Man! Pretty sure there's a handful of folks here who got taken advantage of worse than me tho!

Like some others have said, the Damiki Vault is probably my favorite. I did buy a new one towards the end of the year that I like. The Acme V-Rod. It has a smaller profile than the Vault (and most others). My most used size in all my blade baits is 1/2oz. Here's the V-Rod compared to the Vault.

That's a bummer. Hopefully they figured something out. I haven't had any issues yet with the Money Badger, Dredger or Frittsides. But I haven't fished them a ton, either. Well, the Frittsides I have.

Dang, what baits?

I think I read the first week is a free trial and it kicks in in a week. So that's when the money should show up in your Omnia account.

The majority of me can't really stand Ben. He just comes off as a giant, disrespectful *bleep*. But there's a part of me that respects the fact that he's the same person that he was when he was living in Nebraska, fishing ponds and spillways. And that he's someone who does things his own way and could give 2 *bleeps* what anyone thinks about him. The guy can fish, that's for sure. He's mastered FFS.

I would give them a call. I ordered a rod on Nov 24th and received it on the 30th.

Summerland has extended their Black Friday sale for the rest of Dec. Code: BLACKFRIDAY. 25% off. Megabass (and everything else minus electronics most likely) is included. This is...not good. 🙈

Some discussion regarding cold water baits.

Oh that's a great point. Mine is about to expire as well.

You get that with basic premium as well.

Yeah that would work. And like RipzLipz said, you don't need power for this technique. Once you feel the weight of the fish at the end of your line, you just kind of keep reeling and sweep your rod to one side. That's usually enough to do it. Especially if you have sharp hooks. In colder months/water, I may get a little more aggressive with it just because the bass' mouth is a little tougher than when the water is warm. If you're fishing smaller/lighter cranks, this rod does the trick.
